What would I buy if I had a 10,000.00 dollars to spend?


Your mission is to spend a ten thousand dollars and not a penny more. A prize will be walmart-logo.gifgiven to the student that comes closest to spending the money without going over.
You must setup a spreadsheet that will keep track of your items, the amount and cost as well as a total running cost to get you as close as possible to spending ten thousand dollars.
Rules:
  • You may only shop at Walmart: http://www.walmart.com/
  • You may only buy up to three of any one item at one time, and it cannot total any more than 2,500.00
  • You cannot buy any one item that equals five thousand dollars
  • Have fun!
  • See how many things you can buy that you might like to have
  • Remember to fill out your spreadsheet correctly

Below is a picture of how to set up your spreadsheet:
